Is the Brass 90° Elbow with GW BSP, Type 3400 suitable for both hot and cold water systems up to 10 bar and -10°C to +100°C?

Yes. The Brass 90° Elbow with GW BSP, Type 3400 is suitable for both hot and cold water systems. It is manufactured from high-quality brass, resists corrosion and wear, and is rated for working pressures up to 10 bar and temperatures from -10°C to +100°C. The internal BSP thread ensures a tight, leak-free connection and compatibility with standard piping, making it appropriate for residential and commercial installations.

Can the Brass 90° Elbow with GW BSP, Type 3400 be used with other fluids (e.g., glycol or hydraulic oil) and in industrial systems beyond standard potable water applications?

Brass 90° Elbow with GW BSP, Type 3400 is primarily described for hot and cold water systems, but its material and rating allow broader use with some limitations. Made of high-quality brass, it offers good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, suitable for many non-aggressive fluids. Its working limits (up to 10 bar, -10°C to +100°C) make it compatible with a range of industrial fluids such as diluted glycol solutions and many hydraulic oils that fall within that pressure and temperature envelope. Cautions: - Chemical compatibility: brass can be attacked by ammonia, strong acids, some chlorinated solvents and certain aggressive chemicals. Verify fluid chemistry and consult compatibility charts for brass vs. the specific glycol or hydraulic oil formulation. - Seal materials: thread seals, O-rings or tapes used in assembly must be compatible with the chosen fluid and temperature range. - Pressure/temperature requirements: ensure system peak pressures and temperatures (including transient spikes) do not exceed 10 bar or the stated temperature limits. - Industrial standards: for critical hydraulic systems, contaminants, micro-leakage tolerance, and required certifications may demand fittings rated specifically for hydraulic service. Conclusion: Brass 90° Elbow with GW BSP, Type 3400 can be used with glycol mixtures and many hydraulic oils in industrial settings if fluid compatibility and pressure/temperature limits are met and appropriate sealing materials are used. For aggressive fluids, higher pressures, or critical hydraulic applications, choose fittings specified and certified for those conditions.
